‘The Q’ as dubbed by Cleveland fans, will be seeing a $140 million dollar upgrade and expansion which will allow the arena to host major events, and extend the lifespan of the Cavalier’s home court. Designed through a collaborative effort by SHoP and Rosetti, Gensler will serve as the architect of record, responsible for transforming the exterior elements of the building, including new areas for outdoor events and modern solutions for arena entry challenges. The redesigned six levels of interior space will be expanded to increase the functionality of the main concourses and gathering areas.

“We are thrilled to be working on this exciting transformation, says Gensler Firmwide Sports Practice Area Leader Ryan Sickman. “The growth and momentum in Cleveland is driving a new platform for development and success and The Q is a part of this landscape. It is rewarding to be part of such an impactful project that will help drive and reflect the community’s growth and vibrant future for years to come. We’re focused on delivering an enhanced user experience and expanded functionality while helping to create an all-new look and connectivity to the city.”
